It was always going to be a remake sadly.

I just watched 'Wes Cravens New Nightmare' and it got me thinking of how good Robert Englund was at playing Freddy.

New Nightmare and the original were the only ones worth watching really, they ruined his character in the sequels.

Agree.

Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, wasnt that bad though but it doesnt beat the first.
I think Number 2 was horrible tbh, the worst in the series and so is 'Freddies Dead' I think that was the 8th one.

That was when they just killed it completely.

They tried and focuss to much on him being funny and the scare factor wore off.

I used to quite like New Nightmare until I saw it the other week on TV. I know it tries to go for the whole satire thing. But the central theme of the lead female questioning her own sanity is just incredibly done to death (part of the reason I didn't like Alejandro Amenabar's the Others either) and is has to feature one of the most annoying child actors of all time.

Regarding the remake... a Nightmare on Elm Street is a childhood favourite of me and my cousin's so we will definitely be seeing it, but I don't think it will turn out to be any good... not with Michael Bay's track record.

Robert Englund IS Freddie.

Disappointed they've remade it. Some classics such as this need HANDS OFF!!!!

[Kerry]

One, Two Freddies coming for you, Three, Four.......

I also heard this is ment to be a trilogy.


So there will be at least 2 more of these Remaks made.

Very true. And most of the well recieved films are passed off as "thrillers" Psycho, Halloween, Silence of the Lambs etc

The only horror movie in recent years that springs to mind as getting an unfair reception was the original Wrong Turn. Most of the time though, critics are too soft on horror movies if anything.

It's mainly because 90% of horror films are sh*t.

[IheartBB]

Urgh, really not sure about this. The original was such a classic. I fear that they'll A) try to make Freddie a sympathetic character and B) make him so hell bent on revenge that he'll lose all of the quirkiness (not even sure if that's a word) of Robert Englund's Freddie.

And I always prefered the original Friday the 13th to the original Elm Street. But as an entire series, Elm Street was way better.

[Beastie]

Well it is worth the watch! What have you got to lose?

[GypsyGoth]

Went to this earlier today, it was brilliant! I loved it. A few scares and a really creepy bad guy.

I just shit myself at the trailer.
Me and horror films do not go down well :'(

It is really good though. Don't you like any horrors?

[Lucy.]

No I'm a big wuss and they just make me scared for the next month.
I'm a pathetic excuse for a Geordie :P

I wonder If Patrick was allowed in

[Ross]

Paddy, how did it go?

[setanta]

This is what I posted in last film you watched thread: Another stale and unimaginative horror remake from a production company who've built a solid reputation for themselves as a team of professionals committed to churning out hollow, disposable remakes of older classics, with absolutely none of the style of the originals. This was mind blowingly awful, and one has to feel sorry for Jackie Earle Haley who deserved far much more than this tired old piece of rubbish.

[Ross]

This wasn't THAT good. It was good and very jumpy. It was nowhere near as good as the remake of Friday the 13th.

[Novo]

Watched this about a week ago now

Thought it was just very average, and all the deaths were boring, nothing that we haven't seen before. The Acting was a bit ****e at times, although i thought the blonde girl at the start was a good actress shame she got killed off early
